I'm a long time Emmons player, older push pulls and a D-10 Emmons Resound 65 that I've used as my stage guitar for the last three years. In the effort to promote information to our small community where credit is due. I would be more than willing to speak with any person that would like to hear my experience with the Shoji Steel Guitar company and that will be my opinion only so as you know how opinions goes..but I've been a weekend warrior for a long time and certainly it has given some experience..good, bad or indifferent :)
Also, anyone who interested in a Shoji, and in the Northern New England area feel free to stop by and try it..oh and not to diminish the Wrap 65...play that too.

Here's your quote from the earlier Toshi post with some closeups of your guitar. Congratulations George. I'm happy for you getting this fine guitar.

Hiroshi Ozaki kindly provided a wonderful demo performance, and I would be grateful if you would take a moment to watch it.

Additional photos are available on my website and Facebook page.

Thank you very much for your interest.

Thanks kindly Jerry, as a group both players and builders are in a brother/sisterhood to support each others passion in building and playing these unique instruments in all parts of the world, I’m truly blessed to be enjoying the steel guitar
